Women Against Heart Disease Lunch
It’s a common misconception that heart disease is a man’s disease. It’s Australia’s biggest killer of women and we need your help to change that.
At our Women Against Heart Disease lunch in Sydney you’ll hear from three incredible women who have joined forces to stop heart disease from being misdiagnosed, overlooked, and even ignored in women across Australia.
Anchor of Sky News, Jaynie Seal, will be the Master of Ceremonies for the luncheon and introducing us to our guest speakers.
You’ll learn how Victoria McGee was misdiagnosed for years, how Marie
Domingo dismissed her symptoms before suffering heart failure days
after giving birth, and how super-fit mum Heather Turland had a SCAD
heart attack whilst swimming off Bondi Beach but ignored the warning
signs.
